Puerto Manzano does it again
Puerto Manzano pulled off a Grade 1 double when he won the World Sports Betting Premier's Champions Challenge over 2000m at Turffontein on Saturday. Victory in this R2-million race backed up his triumph last November in the Betway Summer Cup, also over 2000m at Turffontein. But it was a hard-fought success as it took the judge to separate the Johan Janse van Vuuren-trained runner from one of his former inmates, Second Base, who is now trained by Robyn Klaasen. Just another 0.90 lengths back came Rain In Holland with Billy Bowlegs, who went off favourite at 28-10, just 0.15 lengths further back in fourth. Puerto Manzano went off at 6-1 and gave jockey Keagan de Melo yet another Grade 1 victory this season. A race earlier KwaZulu-Natal raider Isivunguvungu gave jockey Richard Fourie his third successive winner of the day as he romped to a two-length victory in the Grade 1 Jonsson Workwear ComputaForm Sprint over 1000m at Turffontein on Saturday.
